Welcome to the Rick Riordan task force of WikiProject Novels! We aim to create a standard of excellence for articles related to novels written by Rick Riordan. In general, this task force aims to organize, expand, and improve Wikipedia's encyclopedic coverage of articles that pertain to this author's works. Until November 2015, this task force was known as "WP:PJTF". View the discussion that led to our new name here.

Please make propositions or proposals, discuss issues, share ideas, and make comments at the RRTF General Forums.

Scope
This project covers:
 * Books and series written by Rick Riordan (especially his works based on Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology)
 * Example: The Throne of Fire
 * Note: The 39 Clues is not covered, as WP:39 already exists.
 * Other media based on the works of Rick Riordan, but not written by that author
 * Example: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
 * Characters in the above series
 * Example: List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan
 * Articles involving Rick Riordan, illustrator John Rocco, and/or important actors in the movies
 * Example: Blackout (picture book)

Sandbox
Editors are encouraged to use this sandbox for test edits. This will be checked regularly by RRTF members and necessary updates and corrections will be made. It is requested that an editor make test edits here instead of directly in the articles.

Tagging and assessment
Any article related to this task force should be marked with "rick-riordan-task-force=yes" to the WikiProject Novels project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Rick Riordan task force articles.

The resulting code is usually: Please note: The parameters "percy-jackson-task-force" and "percy-jackson-importance" will generate the same template, and do not need to be changed for individual articles. Stub template:  (goes at the bottom of unfinished or very small articles) Navigation boxes:      (go at the bottom of articles to organize links to related pages)
